Restore & Secure Windows Server

Job ID: 40508795

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

My production Windows server has gone silent—no RDP, no web console, nothing. I still hold full ownership credentials with the hosting provider, so authorized recovery options (rescue console, snapshot-based rollbacks, etc.) are available. I need a seasoned Windows system administrator or security professional to get the box responsive again, verify integrity, and lock it down.

The core goals are simple:

• Diagnose why the server is unresponsive and revive it through approved rescue or recovery tools
• Regain normal administrator access without breaching provider policies
• Audit current services, patch levels, startup items, and event logs
• Implement practical hardening steps (firewall rules, updates, backup checks) and explain what was changed

Please show relevant past work that proves you have handled similar Windows-based recoveries or incident response assignments. That single reference point will be enough for me to shortlist; no lengthy proposals required.

Once the machine is back online and stable, a brief summary describing root cause, actions taken, and recommended next steps will complete the engagement.
